I want to set a mutex in one windows account and allow another windows account to access this mutex.
For testing I have two forms that create a mutex using the C# mutex class. I am logging into Windows XP as "User1" and creating and locking the mutex from "User1" using the 1st form. I then use the "switch users" function to log in as "User2" and run the 2nd form and attempt to create the mutex (using the same name). When I try this I get access denied.
I have then tried to use the Win32 classes (as below) but still not working (same problem "access denied"). Any ideas?
namespace MyWin32API
{
// Required SecurityAttribu tes Structure LPSECURITY_ATTR IBUTES
[StructLayout(La youtKind.Sequen tial)]
public class SecurityAttribu tes
{
public int nLength = Marshal.SizeOf( typeof(Security Attributes));
public long lpSecurityDescr iptor;
public bool bInheritHandle;
}
public class CWin32
{
// Security Rights Constants - See Winnt.h
public const UInt32 SYNCHRONIZE = 0x00100000;
public const UInt32 STANDARD_RIGHTS _REQUIRED = 0x000F0000;
public const UInt32 MUTANT_QUERY_ST ATE = 0x0001;
// Security Rights Constants - See winbase.h and winnt.h
public static UInt32 MUTEX_ALL_ACCES S = (SYNCHRONIZE |
STANDARD_RIGHTS _REQUIRED | MUTANT_QUERY_ST ATE);
//CreateMutex
[DllImport("kern el32.dll", SetLastError=tr ue)]
private static extern UInt32 CreateMutex(Sec urityAttributes
lpMutexAttribut es, bool InitialOwner, string MutexName);
// Win 32 Masked Method - does not use return handle currently
public UInt32 Win32CreateMute x(bool InitialOwner, string MutexName)
{
SecurityAttribu tes sa = new SecurityAttribu tes();
sa.bInheritHand le = false;
sa.lpSecurityDe scriptor = CWin32.MUTEX_AL L_ACCESS;
return CWin32.CreateMu tex(sa,InitialO wner,MutexName) ;
}
}
Thank you,

You need to create a DACL containing an ACE's for all trustee's you want to
access the Mutex object, and set the DACL's address in the
SecurityAttribu tes lpSecurityDescr iptor member.

I use a mutex to disallow starting a second application instance. This
did not work in a release build until I made it static member of my
MainForm class.
In a debug build, first instance got ownership, second did not and
terminated. In a release build, the second instance *also* got
ownership. I "fixed" it by making the mutex a static member of my
MainForm class.
Did the garbage collector eat my mutex because it is not referenced

Hello, i'm trying to program a thread that would be locked (by a

I have to do it this way, i can only call the thread if the data are

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
